I think it is in his contract that he is only in a movie if his character dies at some point.

Amidst the mists and coldest frosts he thrusts his fists against the posts and still insists he sees the ghosts.

I like that idea a lot. You're thinking of a holocron, btw.



Yeah, a holocron! That'd be just the thing. The nice thing is they could do a Star Wars film waaaay after most of the EU stuff, so they wouldn't have to retcon all those stories, but with a Master Skywalker holocron they'd still be able to maintain some continuity to the original trilogy.

But I mean, it's a big universe too. They could tell a story during the EU timeline that's completely separate from any of the other stories as well.

I don't see what's so intimidating about droids when Jedi's can go through hundreds of them in a few minutes with little to no effort at all or a 5 year old with no military experience can destroy there main base by himself.

That was exactly the problem. The entire army and space navy of the Trade Federation was one big piece of comic relief. How are you supposed to take the bad guys seriously as bad guys when they're all bumbling morons?

I think the exoskeletons from Terminator are a good example of a robot army that was pretty cool as opposed to completely ridiculous.

It seemed like they went more of the route of droids because you can feth droids up all day and not get hit with an R. Imagine all the scenes where Jedi are slicing up droids and replace the droids with humans (or humanoid aliens). It would be a blood bath.

Amidst the mists and coldest frosts he thrusts his fists against the posts and still insists he sees the ghosts.

But.. c'mon! Who wouldn't want to see any army of Jedi's feth up another army and watch the limbs fly! At least there wouldn't be a whole lot of blood!

I wasn't arguing that it was a good decision, in fact I thought it was a bad one. It removed any real moral question about the application of violence.

Also having completely useless enemies ruins the sense of danger and dramatic tension in the film.

Any bets on how that would go? Can a lightsaber deflect gauss flayer rounds? It's not like Jedi wear armor of any kind... bet a lightsaber would do a number on a 'Cron once they got into stabbing range. I wonder if it would have a similar cauterizing effect on living metal as it does on flesh?

No no... we'd need some sithlords bro-fisting some 'crons.
